God has revealed his mysterious inner life to be that of the Blessed Trinity. From all eternity, God the Father begets and loves God the Son. God the Son honors and loves God the Father. Their love is so substantial that it is another person: God the Holy Spirit. As one pole of a magnet is irresistibly attracted to the opposite pole, generating a magnetic field, the Father and Son are forever drawn to each other, generating the magnetic field of love, which is the Holy Spirit.
As we form our consciences in the light of Christ and his Church, the domains of our lives gradually become properly aligned in accordance with God’s will. As we become re-magnetized, we can help draw others into God’s magnetic field, the way magnetized iron can itself act as a magnet—an evangelization of magnetization. Finding peace means ceasing to struggle against God’s magnetic field. Once we are fully aligned in his will, the needle of the compass of our souls will draw us to our true home in heaven, that we “may all be one” (John 17:20) as the Blessed Trinity is one—“a community of love, a unity in difference”—like a magnet.
